I got one of the Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL routers.  It's model number is
BEFSR41.  It is a FOUR port Ethernet router (10/100 mbps) that includes a
firewall.  There are actualy 5 sockets, but port 1 is shared with the WAN
port
that connects to the cable or DSL modem - you can only use one or the other
-
not both.  This leaves 3 regular ports for computers, networked priners,
servers or other ethernet devices.

I would bring it to the meeting, but I suspect my wife would KILL me before
I
unplugged HER computer!!!  (grin)

BTW, I had serious S.O. problems getting the hardware as well.  But she
didn't
understand how fast high speed access can be!  

One word of warning - Now that my wife has high speed access, Ebay gets a
SIGNIFAGANTLY larger portion of what USED to be my hardware budget!

On another note:  I tried the advanced address modifcation techniques from
one
of the previous posts and IT WORKS!!!  No More sending two copies!
